Abortion and Democracy offers critical analyses of abortion
politics in Latin America's Southern Cone, with lessons and
insights of wider significance. Drawing on the region's recent
history of military dictatorship and democratic transition, this
edited volume explores how abortion rights demands fit with current
democratic agendas. With a focus on Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay,
the book's contributors delve into the complex reality of abortion
through the examination of the discourses, strategies, successes,
and challenges of abortion rights movements. Assembling a
multiplicity of voices and experiences, the contributions
illuminate key dimensions of abortion rights struggles: health
aspects, litigation efforts, legislative debates, party politics,
digital strategies, grassroots mobilization, coalition-building,
affective and artistic components, and movement-countermovement
dynamics. The book takes an approach that is sensitive to social
inequalities and to the transnational aspects of abortion rights
struggles in each country. It bridges different scales of analysis,
from abortion experiences at the micro level of the clinic or the
home to the macro sociopolitical and cultural forces that shape
individual lives. This is an important intervention suitable for
students and scholars of abortion politics, democracy in Latin
America, gender and sexuality, and women's rights.
